I'm Feeling Gray

I'm feeling gray...or grey. The good thing about feeling gray is that gray is such a trendy color right now.

The only problem, there are so many grays to chose from. Bluish grays, grays with purple undertones, grays that have some brown tones, pure grays, dark grays, light grays. The list is endless.

I attempted to find the 'perfect' gray online. I visited about 20 fellow bloggers, each claiming to have found the perfect gray. Classic Gray, Stone Harbor, Gray Pearl, Oyster Bay, Horizon, Edgecomb Gray, Eternity...it was starting to feel like it would literally be an eternity before I found a color I liked.

This is what happens when it is gray {and snowing for days on end} outside. I get bored. I get cage crazy. Things end up getting painted, moved or changed.

Fortunately, I'm not the only person that feels like this. My little helper was feeling gray, too...and she couldn't wait to offer her opinion for the perfect gray and lend a helping hand.

But, to be honest, it's hard to feel too gray when the chandelier I got for my birthday finally came out of the box it has been sitting in for 2 months...

And, the ceiling fan came down.

And, these little brackets, we found at a flea market, finally found a place to be displayed.

Finding the perfect gray can be so hard. :) We are about to paint something else gray in our house, so I can totally relate to how your feeling. :) I can't wait to see what you do with all these fun items.

Grey is the worst!! I think I went through about 50 grey paint samples before I found the one that was tolerable enough to pain the whole house. In some rooms it looks blue, in others purple and in others grey. But I do love it more than the off-mauve-ish cream that the original owners painted the house. Can't wait to see that chandelier hanging!!

Oh spring will wash the grey away very soon but I hope you find the right shade for painting. Love that your chandelier is going up :) when I'm feeling grey I read or I do marathon sessions of the TV show Scrubs watched it a million times still laugh every time. I think the Gray/Grey thing is American to English spelling. But I could be wrong.

I have a love hate relationship with paint! Absolutely love how paint transforms a space for such a little amount of money, but hate the entire picking out and labor part of it. Can't wait to see what you chose and where you hung your beautiful present!

I love gray! It is my go to color and I'm using a lot of it in my bathroom and kitchen remodels. I can't remember the last time I felt grey...But I probably went out to the shop and built something to get over it. :)

You are such a tease!! No pic of the grey wall, no pic of the chandelier hanging and no pic of what you did with the brackets! Way to keep me in suspense! My new kitchen will be 2 tones of grey and white. I have carried around a bag filled with grey paint swatches for 2 months and looked at them at all times of the day, in all kinds of light. I finally settled and purchased paint last week.

I've always been a fan of gray; a color I don't think I could ever tire of.. especially when it comes to fashion. :) I'm curious to see what you plan on doing with those brackets.. and to see that chandelier is up so be sure to share please!

Hope you'll share the "after" photos. You certainly grabbed your share of paint swatches! It is an overwhelming section at the store. I try to be in and out as quick as possible ;). When I'm gray, I like to bake :D! A little sugar cheers everyone up, eheh.
